About Artwork:
Because the world is so rich, because life is so short, I've become obsessed with paying attention. When I go for a walk or just sit in a room, I try to take more notice of what's "out there" - colors, sounds, shapes, movement. At the same time, in the same places, I'm paying closer attention to what's "in here" - thoughts, emotions, plans, memories.
Often the two kinds of focus collide. I fail to enjoy a sunset because I'm concerned about air pollution. Or I lose track of an argument when I see a camellia in bloom.
Sometimes - rarely, thrillingly - what's outside and what's inside seem to mesh. For a moment at least, I feel equally aware of my surroundings and my interior life. Thinking about it after the fact, I believe that in such magical moments each focus of attention is affecting the other: the scene around me bringing up potent memories, the memories making my visual experience more vivid.
I call my paired images antikons. They are meant to be seen as diptychs, with each left panel looking outward, observing a landscape, and each right panel looking inward, responding to that landscape. The word antiphon is Greek for "answering voice"; antikon suggests "answering image."

Please click on the image to see it full-screen.
Stone Circle, Holy Cove, and Wide Bridge are new works, never exhibited. Their price is based not on presumed value but on labor.
Each diptych will ship in a sturdy mailing tube, as two high-quality, semi-gloss digital inkjet prints, each 36" by 36" (or smaller, if you prefer). Both sheets will be numbered and signed en verso - one with my name, one with my monogram.
Buyers are encouraged to choose their own format for framing and display, e.g. fine art foam board; narrow (black) metal frames; a wooden, hinged, free-standing, diptych frame.
